Someone who wants a cocktail with actual water views—not a photo op—should sit here and watch the Potomac while their drink gets made properly.
cocktail bar
1200 16th St NW

cocktail bar
501 9th St NW

cocktail bar
501 9th St NW
Sit at the bar while a bartender treats each cocktail like a small edible experiment—clarified spirits, foams, unexpected textures—all designed to be experienced in sequence like a tasting menu for drinks.
cocktail bar
2309 18th St NW
Bolivian Singani cocktails and street food in a narrow 18th Street room where the bartender knows what you need before you order. Go here when you want to taste something that isn't trying to be trendy.
cocktail bar
2440 18th St NW
A dim speakeasy where the vibe is 1920s throwback without feeling like a costume party. Go if you want to drink cocktails in a space that takes itself seriously about atmosphere.
